The play tells the story of a 9-5 worker who dreams of being a filmmaker and runs away to join a singer-songwriter, an actress and an artist on a mission to shoot a debut music video. Trans-Euro Express will be Dugan's second play to be performed in the U.S, following his short play The Mission, which came to the States in 2008.

The cast will include the previously reported Roderick Hill, along with Katy Wright Mead, Charlie Kevin, and Patricia Buckley.
